Hi Steve,
Last year, I wrote a short article for your site called: The Leica M9… for sports?
This year, I’m still photographing my kids’ sports activities with an M9, but two weeks ago I decided to take my M3 instead.
I did it for a couple of reasons: Firstly, I just like the look of film. Secondly, I thought it would be fun.
Well, 3 rolls of Tri-X 400 later, I ended up with some keepers. Actually, I ended up with a whole bunch of keepers, and I’m sharing a few here.
Incidentally, if any of your readers are interested in learning about how I process my B&W film, they can read about it here.
Regards,
Peter | Prosophos

Hopefully, this will make them easier to find.
Thanks,

Film processing at home: inexpensive.
2012, Film, Inspiration, Q&A, Teaching pointOne of my generous readers, Mark, upon reading Part 1 of my How I process B&W film series, decided to take the dive into home developing.
Even though he is a fellow Canadian, I recommended B&H* in New York as a one-stop shopping place to get all the necessary equipment.
So how much does it actually cost to set-up home developing?
Mark graciously sent a copy of his bill to me to share with you:

*Note: There is no advertising on this site, so I do not benefioviding the link to B&H… I’m just a very satisfied customer._

Total cost including shipping: under US$135!
These are very exciting times for Mark, and I hope for many of you reading this.
Thank you again Mark, for graciously sharing this information.
—Peter.
